Hello friends,
Generosity can be shown via time, effort, and passion, not just money. This socially relevant conduct pattern affects the individual's environment and mental health.
Research demonstrates that giving acts relieve stress, boost life satisfaction, and make people feel sufficient since they can help society and their loved ones.
Psychological well-being is a balance between the physical world, our social relationships, our self-awareness, our ideal world, and spiritual values.
Here, we can talk about accepting oneself, forming positive relationships, understanding environmental conditions to the point that one does not ignore what is happening around one, seeing where one is in life, increasing self-awareness, searching for the meaning of life, and pursuing its purpose.
Generosity indirectly affects these dimensions and boosts well-being. The satisfaction of assisting someone boosts psychological well-being.
Generosity also gives a person a positive social identity and reduces social exclusion because they are not selfish.
Positive social activities enhance relationships, increase a person's sense of belonging and social support, and make them feel like they belong.
Generosity affects brain chemistry and emotional well-being. We must be careful that generosity does not mean selflessness.
Selfishness is thinking exclusively about oneself, yet respecting oneself is thinking about oneself first.
Being kind while satisfying others' needs without forgetting our own can make us feel content with our work.
Personal satisfaction is typically linked to generosity. People report higher life satisfaction when they share. Besides money, this can include time, attention, and effort.
Generosity activates brain reward areas. Giving or assisting others releases dopamine in the brain, making people feel good. This may make people feel better as they give more.
Generosity boosts self-esteem and stress management.
People feel appreciated and confident when they serve others. Good deeds improve a person's social standing and earn them respect.
We value ourselves beyond societal esteem. Doing good makes us and others feel wonderful.
Being giving in relationships reduces stress and provides psychological relief. Endorphins from good deeds make people feel less worried, more useful, and less stressed.
Generosity enhances social cohesion and solidarity by enhancing social bonds and encouraging cooperation.
Generosity promotes social unity. Generosity encourages community members to help each other, especially in hard times. Generosity strengthens society and fosters social solidarity.
